No 1. The chronic bronchitis asthmatic coughers. (please go home!) People who don't wash their hand after taking a leak and then handle the ice cube machine and fridge.

No. 2. The managing director who is so important she must listen to all of her voicemail on speakerphone at top volume with her door open. Speaker phones in general drive me nuts. Anyone who uses it when there is no one else who needs to hear the conversation should be fired on the spot (and then shot at sunrise.)

"Bosses who step into a bathroom stall mid-conversation and keep talking, expecting you to stand by and listen." How about co-workers who don't wash their hands after stepping up to the urinal?
(shiver!)

You are so lucky to be retired because “it’s a win win”, “think outside the box”, and “there’s no I in team,” are alive and well in America’s workplace!
The other annoying work personality is the person who wants a medal or praise for doing something that is part of their job anyway. “You should thank me because I sorted the mail!”

HR fibbed. They exist and when they run out of PTO they beg others for donations.

I dont know, but I always try to look annoyed. Makes me look busy. Costanza, is that you?
To: MotleyGirl70
"Co-workers who bring in those catalogs for their kids and ask you to buy crap." A - freaking - men. I'm annoyed as heck that the kids even have so many stupid fundraisers. My kids have been in school 2.5 months and are already on their second fundraiser. There are also the two spring fundraisers. Why am I paying school taxes?
My kids are upset that I won't take their fundraisers to work. I'm trying to teach them that it's not their job to become the school's little sales force.

People who talk on their cellphones in the bathroom. I always try to be as noisy as possible when this happens. As do I. This really annoys me. You're so busy and all-important you have to take a call while dropping a deuce? Give me a break.
I'll burst a blood vessel trying to make some extra noise when I hear this sort of thing going on. Just once I want to hear one of these clowns 'fess up that they're in the can---that'll make the person on the other end of the line feel all cuddly.

yikes....don't get me started on that one....
I had one boss who was a real piece of work....spent an hour presenting our findings, outlined the need, identified the resources needed (30 weeks of work for two people)...clear, concise, and organized to perfection...
At the end of the meeting he got up, thanked me for the presentation, put his hand on my shoulder and stated: "looks like YOU have a lot of work a head of YOU" and than he walked out...
Little did I know he was planning on announcing his retirement in 8 weeks, and could care less if I succeeded or not....let's just say his successor was quite upset with the situation when he took over....

Sitcoms such as the "The Office" portray these behaviors as humorous personality quirks, but in a real office situation, it's no laughing matter. Thank God for "The Office," the funniest show in years. Talk about low-hanging fruit that's just been out there for the taking.

I refuse to do my kid’s fundraisers either. My oldest turned hers back in with just one magazine order from yours truly which is a real joke because it’s going to raise money for her 8th grade class trip which I’m going to be paying for anyway. LOL

What about backstabbers? The people who are so insecure about their own position that, once in a minor position of authority, they set about eliminating anyone who might seem more competent than themselves.
To: Traveler59
Been looking for one for a while. Too bad the seller is in Britain.
Looking for a US source.

To megatalkers everywhere, SHUT UP - nobody cares about your trivia and the minute details of your lives!!! Yes, yes, a thousand times, YES! You'd think they'd pick up on our body language, like looking at our watches and staring out the window, but NO! They ratchet up the minutiae!

I worked in an office of D.C. lawyers and PhDs so many days were like Wayne’s World on drugs.
To: CDHart
I don't like the term "human resources." It sounds like people are like lumps of coal or something. That's very perceptive. In fact, that is what is intended. Remember the old term? "Personnel"? People. People, as opposed to 'human animals' to be used for the benefit of the corporation. The term human resources derives from behavioral psychology.
